We can’t wait to SEA you again!

You can expect to see many species of marine invertebrates native to Nova Scotia's waters, such as sea stars, rock crabs, sea urchins, scallops and more!

The centre is busy throughout the season, but mornings tend to be quieter if you want to beat the rush.

Our main entrance facing the parking lot has a ramp leading up to it for wheelchair users. Depending on the size of your wheels, you may be more comfortable using our back entrance, which is level to the ground. If this is the case, our staff are happy to help you out. There are no steps inside the facility.

For the safety of our marine life, outside food or drinks are not permitted in the centre, except for a refillable water bottle (or for guests with medical conditions that need to eat at certain times). You’re welcome to leave the aquarium to grab a bite to eat and then re-enter. There is a cafe located across the parking lot.

Unfortunately, due to safety of our animals, we do not allow pets in the centre.
